After looking over the list, it's kinda sad to see that MGS 4 only got best original score and best graphics. That game at least deserved Best PS3 Game, LittleBigPlanet is fun and all but in a sense it's just a basic platformer wrapped around extensive level creation tools, MGS4 was a freaking masterpiece not to mention Kojima's last foray with the MGS franchise EVER (sorry Media Molecule, much <3>
woot. i'm glad L4D and NHL09 got some good recognition.

Yeah, Left4Dead was great fun and I heard good things about NHL09 and it's innovative multiplayer, I hope more sports games build around that every position is played by a real player idea, seems really neat.
